Jesus Christ The Apple Tree Lyrics - Jane Siberry

Jesus Christ the Apple Tree 

The tree of life my soul hath seen 

Laden with fruit and always green 

The tree of life my soul hath seen 

Laden with fruit and always green 

The trees of nature fruitless be 

Compared with Christ the apple tree 

His beauty doth all things excel 

By faith, I know but ne'er can tell 

His beauty doth all things excel 

By faith, I know but ne'er can tell 

The glory which I now can see 

In Jesus Christ the apple tree 

For happiness I long have sought 

And pleasure dearly I have bought 

For happiness I long have sought 

And pleasure dearly I have bought 

I missed of all but now I see 

'Tis found in Christ the apple tree 

I'm weary with my former toil 

Here I will sit and rest a while 

I'm weary with my former toil 

Here I will sit and rest a while 

Under the shadow I will be 

Of Jesus Christ the apple tree
